Thx for the kind words. Re: “left of center R&B”. You got it. I just mean “alternative” to the mainstream. Things that have a little bit of uniqueness/style that often pull from more obscure types of music (jazz/psychedelia/underground hiphop/indie/etc)
I think you might’ve been the person to turn me onto Shuggie Otis back in the day. I might be tripping but I think it was you. Always grateful for you, man.
Have you done an Anatomy for any Shuggie yet? I always wondered what a serious music head/producer would think of the mathematics going on in the drumming on Inspiration Information. Cheers, brah.
This was delightful!
I loved how you got into the nitty gritty, building blocks and story telling behind each production choice.
I’ve only heard strawberry letter 23, I might have to do deep dive on Shuggie Oatis now.
Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say “left of center R&B”? Untraditional? Not super commercial? Or is there a specific sound to it?
Thanks 😊
This was a wonderful way to start my morning.
